Drivers aren't plugins. They link to and incorporate GPL code. You can't grant special terms in that scenario. The best they can do is dual license their header

Drivers aren't plugins. They link to and incorporate GPL code. You can't grant special terms in that scenario. The best they can do is dual license their headers. The hazy area is where no linking happens and it's just a pure API without code sharing.
- sudosysgen 4y agoDo DKMS drivers have to include headers as redistributed? I was under the impression they didn't have to, but I have very little expertise with DKMS and could definitely be wrong.
